Introduction

The backplate has the serial number, model number, power connector, and USB connector. Your blackplate may need to be removed to access/replace the thermal printer head, various printer parts, and connectors. You will need a Phillips #1 screwdriver and a spudger to complete the removal process.

Remember this device has a blade located within the front panel, so be careful not to touch it while working. Disconnect the power connector and USB connector cords before the removal process.
